Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10008969A1] Breathalyzer uses a gallium oxide (Ga2O3) gas sensor. This is mounted in a housing (4) with a partition wall containing an aperture so that breath flows through in a main stream (2) and is deflected to form a sub-stream (3) which flows over the sensor. An Independent claim is included for a method for operating the breathalyzer in which the sensor is heated to a constant temperature.

Abstract (de)

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Alkoholsensor mit einem Gassensorelement (1), das in einem Gehäuse (4) im Strom des Testgases (6) untergebracht ist. Der Sensor ist aufgrund der hohen Betriebstemperatur unempfindlich gegenüber in Frage kommenden Querempfindlichkeiten, insbesondere gegenüber der Querempfindlichkeit auf Feuchtigkeit. Somit liegt ein kostengünstiger, störsicherer, transportabler Alkoholsensor mit einer vielgefächerten Anwendungspalette vor. <IMAGE>
